Ranji Trophy: Padikkal Replaces Mayank As Karnataka Captain, KL Rahul Returns For Punjab Clash
Punjab Cricket Association Stadium: Karnataka have made significant changes ahead of their Ranji Trophy 2025-26 match against Punjab, appointing Devdutt Padikkal as captain with KL Rahul also returning to the squad for the fixture scheduled to be played at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, from February 1. Padikkal has replaced Mayank Agarwal, who will now play only as a batter. Padikkal was in prime form in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he scored 725 runs in just nine innings at an exceptional average of 90.62. Karnataka, who are currently placed third in Elite Group B in the ongoing Ranji season, have been strengthened with Rahul returning to the side after performing well in the three-match ODI series against New Zealand at home. Along with Rahul, India's fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has also been included in the 15-member squad. Prasidh will bolster the bowling attack, which includes experienced bowlers like Vidwath Kaverappa and Mohsin Khan. However, the selection also brought notable omissions. Middle-order batter Abhinav Manohar has been dropped, while senior batter Karun Nair has been ruled out due to injury, dealing a blow to Karnatakas batting depth. The team management confirmed that Nair is currently undergoing rehabilitation and will not be available for the Punjab match. Along with Rahul, India's fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has also been included in the 15-member squad. Prasidh will bolster the bowling attack, which includes experienced bowlers like Vidwath Kaverappa and Mohsin Khan.

Ranji Trophy: Madhya Pradesh Thrash Karnataka, Maharashtra Emerges Victorious Over Goa
Ranji Trophy Elite Group: Spinners Saransh Jain and Sagar Solanki combined to pick six wickets as Madhya Pradesh thrashed Karnataka by 217 runs on the final day of their 2025/26 Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match at the Alur Cricket Ground on Sunday. Resuming at 204/6, MP declared their second innings at 229/8, setting Karnataka a stiff target of 362. The hosts folded for 144 in their reply, with off-spinner Jain (3-37) and left-arm spinner Solanki (3-20) running through the famed batting line-up. Opener KV Aneesh, who had scored 92 in the first innings, led the resistance with a 142-ball 57, but the absence of injured Karun Nair hurt Karnatakas chances. Nikin Jose, drafted in as a concussion substitute, battled for making 26 off 101 balls before falling lbw to Jain. Jose and Shreyas Gopal added 61 runs, but once the stand was broken, Karnataka collapsed rapidly. The huge victory has lifted MP to second place in Elite Group B with 22 points, while Karnataka are at third place with 21 points. Maharashtra, who beat Goa by eight wickets, thanks to Arshin Kulkarni hitting 52 not out in a successful chase, climbed to the top of points table with 24 points. With Saurashtra also in contention on 19 points, Group B has turned into a four-way race for two knockout spots. Karnataka must beat Punjab in their final league game at Mullanpur starting on January 29 to stay in the hunt. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu secured a decisive 207-run victory over Odisha in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group A clash at the KIIT Stadium. Set a daunting target of 455, Odisha were bowled out for 247 despite a determined effort from Anil Parida, who faced 220 balls for his 98 before falling just two runs short of a century. Captain Subhranshu Senapati added 55, but the rest of the batting faltered against Tamil Nadus attack. Tamil Nadus win was shaped by all-rounder Sonu Yadav, named Player of the Match for his spell of 5-30 in the first innings and a brisk 74 off 75 balls with the bat in the second innings. His efforts helped Tamil Nadu post 316 in their second innings, leaving Odisha with little chance in the chase. Though Tamil Nadu collected valuable points to strengthen their position in the standings, they are already out of reckoning in the knockouts. Brief scores: Madhya Pradesh 323 and 229/8 declared beat Karnataka 191 and 144 all out (KV Aneesh 57; Saransh Jain 3-37, Sagar Solanki 3-20) by 217 runs His efforts helped Tamil Nadu post 316 in their second innings, leaving Odisha with little chance in the chase.

In a major push to future-proof Indias fastest-growing city against climate stress, UnboxingBLR - in partnership with Social Alpha and WTFund, and supported by the Government of Karnataka and the Greater Bengaluru Authority GBA - announced today, the five winning startups of Namma Bengaluru Challenge 26 (NBC 26) that will each receive Rs. 25 lakhs to deploy their innovations across Bengaluru. UnboxingBLR - Namma Bengaluru Challenge '26 winners with jury NBC '26 is turning Bengaluru into a sandbox for nding solutions to climate-triggered challenges that the city faces. The challenge aspires to test ideas that can be piloted on real streets, real buildings and real communities before scaling up across cities. The five winners were selected from nearly 600 registrations from across India, making NBC 26 one of the country’s most competitive and high-impact climate innovation challenges. Over the next six months, the startups will pilot solutions that directly address Bengalurus most urgent environmental challenges across construction, water and waste—a few critical pillars of the citys Bengaluru Climate Action and Resilience Plan (BCAP). “Bengaluru is running out of time on climate, but not out of ideas. What NBC 26 proves is that when entrepreneurs, government and industry come together, we can move from pilots to real solutions that change how the city is built, powered and sustained, said Prashanth Prakash, Chairman and Co-founder, UnboxingBLR . NBC '26 is powered by a strong consortium of partners committed to systemic change. Challenge Partners Bangalore International Airport Limited Brigade Group Program Partners Bangalore Climate Action Cell (Climate Action Partner) WRI India (Knowledge Partner) Brigade REAP CoEvolve Estates (Pilot Partner) Biome Environmental Solutions (Pilot Partner) GoodEarth (Pilot Partner) Why this matters now: Bengaluru has lost 93% of its lakes and green cover to urban expansion, while construction has grown by over 1,000% in the last two decades. The result: worsening water shortages, rising heat, polluted air and fragile waste systems — all hitting the citys most vulnerable communities the hardest. NBC 26 bridges this gap by moving climate innovation out of labs and into neighbourhoods, backed by government, industry and investors working together. “We are thrilled to see the exciting diversity of innovators selected in the Namma Bengaluru Challenge 26, with solutions spanning sustainable construction materials, effluent treatment, and circular materials. This reflects a growing recognition that impactful climate-tech solutions must be as varied as the urban challenges we face. The pilots enabled through this challenge will help de-risk promising technologies, strengthen pathways to scale, and accelerate real-world impact in Bengaluru and beyond. We look forward to partnering with this cohort as they move from bold ideas to demonstrable outcomes that advance urban sustainability and resilience, said Manoj Kumar, Founder, Social Alpha . The Five NBC 26 Winners 1. Carbon Craft Design Category: Sustainable Construction Founder: Tejas Sidnal Carbon Craft Design is reinventing building materials using low-carbon blocks and panels made from industrial waste and recovered carbon. Their products can replace conventional bricks, tiles and facades—cutting emissions where Bengaluru produces them the most: in construction. 2. SatiQ Concrete Manufacturer Category: Low-Carbon Concrete Founders: Shantanu Bhattacherjee, Smrati Jain SatiQ Concrete Manufacturer develops next-generation cement binders that dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of concrete. By working directly with ready-mix plants, precast manufacturers and builders, Satiq is helping decarbonise the backbone of Indias urban growth. 3. Tellus Habitat Category: Water & Sanitation Founders: Dr. Seema Sukhani, Naveen Janardhana Tellus Habitats R3H2O system treats sewage locally using advanced bio-filters, making wastewater reusable for gardening, flushing and cleaning. This reduces dependence on freshwater while easing pressure on Bengalurus overburdened sewage network. 4. Go Do Good Category: Plastic-Free Packaging Founders: Khushboo Gandhi, Chanakya Medh, Ronak Gandhi Go Do Good has created 100% plant-based coatings and inks that replace plastic layers in food packaging. Their technology keeps food safe and fresh—without adding to the mountains of plastic waste choking Bengalurus landfills. 5. Sunbird Straws Category: Circular Biomaterials Founders: Chirag M G, Saji Varghese Sunbird Straws makes fully compostable straws from fallen coconut leaves—strong enough for hours of use, yet completely biodegradable. The model also creates income for rural women, linking climate action with livelihoods. A model for Indian cities As Indian cities grapple with heat waves, floods, water shortages and waste crises, NBC 26 offers a new blueprint—where government, corporates and climate entrepreneurs move in lockstep from pilot to policy to scale. “Cities dont become climate-resilient through intent — they become resilient through evidence. The pilots under NBC 26 will generate exactly the kind of data cities need to scale what works and move faster on climate action, said Pavitra Shankar, Managing Director, Brigade Group . “The real challenge in climate innovation is not invention, its adoption and scale-up. NBC 26 creates that missing bridge — by backing bold solutions that can be piloted and scaled up at a city-level. The challenge brings capital, founders and the city together to solve problems in the startup capital Bengaluru, added Malini Goyal , Co-Founder & CEO, UnboxingBLR . “Urban climate challenges demand solutions that are practical, scalable, and rooted in collaboration. Platforms like the Namma Bengaluru Challenge create the conditions for innovation to move from concept to real-world application. At BIAL, we are committed to supporting solutions that are evidence-led and capable of delivering lasting environmental impact for the city, said Hari Marar, Managing Director & CEO, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) . UnboxingBLR UnboxingBLR (UBLR) is a Bengaluru-focused collaborative platform dedicated to celebrating and shaping the city’s culture and identity. Founded in 2023 by Prashanth Prakash and Malini Goyal, UBLR brings together people, communities, and institutions to co-create Bengaluru’s story, serving as a city champion, idea catalyst, and collaborative platform. UBLR drives initiatives such as the Namma Bengaluru Challenge, an accelerator that supports startups and changemakers tackling urban challenges; BLR Hubba, a city-wide festival celebrating art and culture; the annual We Are City Data Report, a data-driven snapshot of how citizens experience and engage with Bengaluru; and Code to Culture, a podcast exploring the city and its people. Together, these initiatives highlight citizen-led innovation and showcase Bengaluru’s cultural vibrancy in action.
